Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa
A divine missile-weapon associated with Brahmā (and other gods) used by Indrajit to bind Hanūmān.
"But he bound me with a Brahmā weapon with great speed;
"Even if Indrajit deploys his terrible divine weapons in battle — those of Brahmā, Indra, Rudra, Vāyu, and Varuṇa — I shall repel them all and slay the rākṣasas.
Pierce him with the Brahmā weapon — he can be slain by no other means.
